A Great Big Beautiful Car Show is the largest exhibit ever put on by the Walt Disney Archives, and just occurred at the D23 Expo! (you might recall that I used to go to the D23 in 2013, 15, and 17)


The above was in the terrific movie (I recommend it for it's great comedy) Cruella

there were 30 vehicles at this exhibit
 



let me illustrate the difference between cell phone cameras, and serious, expensive, cameras




this video does nothing but give a 7 minute speech on the D23 Expo, it does not show the cars in this exhibit. 


This was built to resemble the Mustang display outside the Ford’s Magic Skyway pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, using one of the actual original Mustangs that went through the Ford Pavilion and was actually a ride vehicle

The cars in the exhibit range from racing Fords and Ferraris to fan-favorite love bugs, fabulous pink convertibles, and Flubber-powered Model Ts—giving visitors an up-close look at dozens of vehicles from the Archives’ collection. 

A “Worlds Beyond” area showcases fantastical vehicles from distant lands, such as Rey’s speeder from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and a transport rover from Prometheus (2012) a Czechoslovakian military tank that’s been dressed up to ‘space age.’






Recently, since Covid, they have the D23 just 2 weeks after Comic Con, but a decade ago, it was a couple months later.
